I MARKET, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE DAY I - -Z--—__— -----“ t Omaha. January 5. 1923. Receipts at Omaha, totaled 204 cars as compared with 176 cars Ift&t year. Total shipments were 201 cats against -i8 cars a year ago. There was an all round better feel ing in the cash grain markets today. Offerings of wheat were in good de mand. with prices 1 to 15j cents higher, with the market being gener ally u cent up. Corn sold readily at to 1 cent up and barley firm and unchanged. Further welling of wheat for foreign count was in evidence early today, which had some effect on values but around the inside figures there was buying by strong commission houses and also some short covering. This absorbed the offerings and made an upturn in prices. Some wheat was reported sold for export via the Gulf and it was said that Germany took some rye. Corn and oats were in good demand with better premiums than yesterday. win; a; No. 1 dark herd: 1 ear. $1.20. I 1 4 r*; 1 rur. $ 11Hla. smutty; 1 c ur. $1 18. No. 2 dark hard: 1 far.

V _ Chicago Grain j Chicago, Jan. 5.-—Grain prices were lowest early with May wheat at a new ! low on the present downturn but on the break there was an excellent class of buying which absorbed the surplus , in the pits and general short covering ! later brought about a sharp upturn, j The latter was not fully maintained, I but the finish was at net gains of i a4@Hc on wheat. '4 c on corn, \ I QiH-c on oats and ?4®l%c on rye. Foreigners sold May wheat at the start and with scattered liquidation caused a decline to $1.17*4. but at $1.18 and under there was free buying by strong commission houses and by some of the local professionals who were good sellers of late. The decline was quickly checked. Offerings were rather light on the way up, with a majority of the pit shorts coming In on their lines and some took the bull side. On the extreme bulge pressure increased and the finish was on a reaction. Germany v;is in the market for hard Sluter* and the Manlt<>baa and was cred ited with havirg taken 820.000 bushel* In all position* Menage* from outside point* Indicated a belter cash demand and a much lc«s b?art*h feeling than ha* prevailed of lute. Country offerings were no* large and line elevator stock.* In the northwest have bees reduced 35 to 40 per cent In a month Corn Strong f rom Start. Corn showed Independent strength from the atari niul while taking fractionally early with wheat, quickly turned upward ; .md m the top showed 1 '•* 1t> 1 \ c over the j early low. «’onntr, offerings remain ex tremely light and the west again reported , x Wood feeder demand On the other j hand export demand was les-s active and j offering:! to the seaboard were reduced ’■% tt \ <’ ha compared with May at the la.-t. Receipts, 382 cars. Domestic demand for cash oala showed no ilsm of falling off. hut as has been the rape for some time past the action of corn was the main Influence Deliver, ten on January contracts were 6.00b bush els. Receipts, llr> cars. Scattered liquidation was on in ryo, j buying for seaboard and northwest ern account absorbed the offerings and a strong rally followed. German) tooic J.OOO.ooo bushels rye on over-night of fer*. and further business was checked 1>> an advance in the cash price. The two northwestern markets had 132 cars. Pit Notes. Action of the wheat market today , show ed that the shorts are ncrxous and run to cover when there is a letup in the selling and that prices respond readily to sui h buying at times. When selling appea -s of liberal volume and buyers hesitate prior a recede. Similar action as today is to be expected every few days so long as present conditions dominate the markets A majors.’, of grain traders said they were mot,- mixed over the situation Hum for a long time past. This led io selling on tlm Lulg.s in greater volume than tlm trad* Whs able to abitorb toward the lusf The European situation doe* not apparently affect buying by foreigners as 820.000 bushels wheat was taken by Ger many and Knglaml anti Germany also bought 1/00,'it000 bushels r\e. The entry is said to lime stopped selling on bleaks, hut on the bulge today more gr.i n v. an offered. This condition Is looked for light along, ‘ alls for gr*ln • ars *n til • Interior are liberal and all roads nro short on their orders. More two sldednsa- was found among corn traders today than of late. Those v ho are bullish base tlielr ideas on the ’Vde distribution of the large movement from the farms the past two months showing a big consumption. Lighter of ferings from the country on breaks and & good export demand V> innifog May wheat has gained on Chicago tn th« past few days and bo has Kansas City, the latter being 81.20 at the close or \\c oxer C hicago, while Winnipeg finished at l.llT»c or 7c under Chicago. With temperatures around 37 beloxv in ♦he t'anadlnn provinces the movement of freight trains Is reduced to a smaller mileage per day and lighter arrivals of grain arp exported within a few day*. There ts no use looking for a bull mar ket In grains while the primary move ments continue heaxy. This is the x lew token by the majority of the traders. CHICAGO CLOSING PRICES.

Due to poor quality receipts, fine butter whs scarce and firm. The medium grades were in rather liberal supply and It whs hard to k*»ep these moving, particularly the cen trailed Hsu***. Miscellaneous lots of scores sold mostly nt 46c. but many deal ers were willing to shade this h half cent for less desirable lots. Cars of central ized fresh and storage found a more ac the demand at the slightly higher prices. More Inquiry for these from out or town buyers was noted. Cheap butter was in active demand.

In none of them, except the market for German exchange, was there repetition ot' the weakness with nhieh the adjournment of the confer ence was greeted on Thursday after noon. Foreign exchange did not in most cases recover all the decline of the preceding day; but sterling ended exactly at Wednesday's closing and the franc after momentarily falling to 6.91 1-2 cents, the lowest since Novem ber, rose rapidly to 7.09 5 4 cents, and dosed only slightly below that figure. Advances of a point or more wore I numerous in the stock market, al | though most of the gains were only ' fractional, and bonds continued firm. Even in the cs.se of the French gov ernment bonds, such decline a* occurred today was slight and, outside of those and the Belgian hernia, even the European government securities were generally high er. What was possibly quit' illustra tive of the market'* viewpoint, the prte** I of wheat at < Imago recovered ls#c and | closed at only a partial reaction, while sjot cotton at New York rose nearly l-3c i per pound ft Is true enough that the n*» ! crihing of Thursday’s weakness of grain I and cotton to the deadlock in the Paris conference involved rather far fetched Masoning; but the market seemed then to take It seriously and today'* recovery may therefore he regarded as in line with the attitude of the other market*. There are several possible explanations for this financial equanamity after Bleep ing on the news from Paris. It might mean conviction that a way will yet bo four.nl to adjust the reparations disagree ment It might reflect bellpf that noth ing of a really disturbing nature vl'l en sue in the way of “independent action’* by France. Or it might indicate an under lying feeling that the movement of eco nomic recovery now in sight not only In America, but in Europe, ha" too many other grounds and Is too strongly based to he upset, even by another fallur*-' to settle the German problem. It Is likely that all three influences were at work on today's markets. A groat deal of attention will naturally he paid for some littl** tune to come to the weekly reports of the mercantile agen cies The climax of “holiday rade” Is definitely past, ar.rj ho If Is the somewhat startling exhibition "f tip closing weeks of December, in which a \ cry unusual rush of nevs orders took several Industrie* l.y surprise. Today's mercantile review* observe that the year-end tendencies have not been changed; In fact “in -ome quar D rs the gains have l*eeri further extend ed;* that there in "more disposition to anticipate* future requirements.'* and tfr&t trade is turning confidently to “what promises to be at least a normally active winter season." Financial Topics. The report of fho dividend declaration today by the directors of the Toledo.
